SENATE.—The Vice President laid before the Senate 8 communication from SENATOR DRAKE, announcing that he had transmitted tothe Gov- ernor of uri his resignation, to take effect on the 19th instant.

Mr. Williams introduced joint resolution re- ferring all propositions for ATLANTIC CARLES to a joint committee or foyr on the part of the Senate and five on the part of the House; which was laid over. Mr. Cameron called up the bill to incorporate THE SOUTHERN EXPRESS COMPANY. Mr. Bayard did not object to a southern ex- press company, but did object to the chartering of corporations by Congress. He was opposed to the evident inclination to bring everything into the drag-net of congressional power. The object in chartering this corporation by Cou- gress was to exempt them frem the operations of State laws, by which they may be subject to local taxation. There was great danger in Con- gress attempting to exercise this jurisdiction. Mr. Cameron said there was no harm and no danger in this bill. This company had been in existence before the war, and ever since.

SCHURZ. He said that it was rarely that the political af- jairs of an individual State of the Union were brought in review before the Senate in the manner in which they were yesterday by his collesgue. Every Senatur here will recognize the unusual character of that speech, and the necessity imposed upon him (Mr. D.) te;reply. He jad not provoked this contest. If nis colleague had so willed it he would bave passed ont of this chamber to-day without a word spoken by bim on Missouri affairs, Even bad his colleague in hisepeech made no reference to him he could uot have allowed it to pass mnnoticed. He (Mr. D.) would that his last act in this chamber -hould be to vindicate as nobie a party as ever held the destinies of a State of this Union. ‘here was an extraordinary character ix the speech of his colleague, remarkable for a re- yublican Senator to express before a republican Senate. It was remarkable in its introduction Lere at all. VHB REPUBLICANS OF MISSOURI HAD THEIR DEFEAT, and the hosts, led on by his colleague, had their vietory when they traifed the republican banner n the'dust, Why not have lert it on the soil of Missouri? ‘why bring it bere? But his col ague not only went Into his (Mr. D.’s) pablie acts, but into his private conversation; went back beyond the flood of the rebellion, which had washed out all the utterances of men be- tore that time. His colleague bad, since yesterday, shown him the letter of Mr. Kollins, making the statement that he (Mr. D.) had opposed Mr. Rollins in 1 as Governor of Missouri, because his elec- tion would be ¢ to the institution ot slavery. He (Mr. any such remark; What if he has peating it here, unless to create distrust against bim because he was @ pro-slavery man in 1857. What difference did it make to the Senate what he wasin 1857? Didthat excuse his colleague ‘or what he had donein 1570? He wi KEADY TO FORGIVE ALL THE HIDEOUS CRIMES OF THE REUBLS of every dye before tive years had one by, yet he cannot forgive poor me because | was a pro- ne olive bi the rebels who have shown no signs of ‘repent- nce, and will not forgive me, who have been repenting of my pro-siavery feelings, lo, these ren years. Mr. Schurz rose— Mr. Drake hoped his colleague would not in- terrupt im. He had listened to bun patientl yesterday without interrupting him. His co teague had tour years more ot his Senatorial term to follow him with his vengeance. Mr. 5 torgive bis colleague. (Laughter.] Mr. Drake felt indebted to his colleague for his kindness. He (Mr. D.) thoughe tt hard that he should be assailed because he was not an old republican. He thought it better to be a now republican, and a faithful one, than an old re- publican, and a treacherous one. (Applause in the galleries.) The Vice President stated that any demon- strations on the part of persous in the galleries would result in their expulsion. Mr. Drake continued, and charged that his colleague had STABEED THY REPUBLICAN PARTY IN COLD BLOOE. His colleague had strack down in his own State the ob that sent him here, and has to taste that blood which power can enable him t& shed in the household of his friends; and felix probably that he holds the doctrines of the re~ in his hands, he comes here publican part to sow the of dissension, which would rive the party from one end to another. If that was his purpose, he would fail; he would be like those of old, who rend the oak and forget the bough. The radical party of Missouri, which his col- one bad destroyed, was one of the most noble Pp that bad ever existed. It had eaved Mi: souri from the rebellion. He (Mr. D.) had in the constitutional convention prepared the dis- Momegres ee y which were adopted. They were to do their work and they did it. When be wrote the articles he provided that after January, 1871, the Legislature should be ered to remove the disfranchisement. But his colle: could not wait for 1871.
